Description

Each year, the National Security College within the ANU College of Law, Governance and Policy at the Australian National University may offer a number of awards known as the National Security College Indigenous Excellence Scholarship. 

The objectives of the Award are to support an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander student to complete a postgraduate coursework award at the ANU National Security College, and to attract a high achieving prospective Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Island student who otherwise may not have the opportunity to undertake studies with the NSC.

Benefits

The scholarship offers a stipend of a maximum of $36,000 ($24,000 per annum) paid in equal instalments at the beginning of each semester, for the duration of the program (up to 72 units).

The recipient is responsible for making payment of all tuition fees by the prescribed date as set out by the University each session. Recipients of the Award are responsible for the costs of books, study materials, accommodation and all other costs of study.

Eligibility

The Award is available each year to a commencing ANU student who:

  • is a domestic student; and
  • identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander; and 
  • receives an offer of admission to the Master of National Security Policy or Graduate Certificate of National Security Policy.
